Original thread: here
/EDIT

The following does not, in fact, install anything for me. I imagine the file is obsolete... but I'm a newb so I'll dust off a years-old thread




This package installs the essential tools needed to write and run Java programs.

Code:
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk

Do you have these in your /etc/apt/sources.list


deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner

Or you can enable the partner repos from the update manager as on screenshot.

i think that you want to the openJDK package.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
